""I learned my lesson that film sets are not democracies. I'm not used to being told what to do. I do the telling," O'Leary told . "We shot something 20 times and I said to Josh [Safdie], 'OK, I think we got it. We can move on.' He said, 'What the f*** are you talking about? There's no moving on until I say we're moving on.'""
"Yet, although O'Leary was not in control on set, Safdie and co-writer Ronald Bronstein were happy to include his notes for a character that echoed some of his own personality. One of the most prominent was a monologue delivered by Rockwell to Mauser in which he claimed to be a "vampire" born in 1601. O'Leary also contributed to Rockwell's look, and leveraged his knowledge as a horophile when choosing the two watches his character wore on each wrist, one set for New York and the other for Tokyo time."
Kevin O'Leary appears in Marty Supreme as ruthless businessman Milton Rockwell opposite Timothée Chalamet's Marty Mauser. O'Leary has been a millionaire for more than 25 years and sold SoftKey to Mattel for $4.2 billion in 1999. He invested an estimated $8.5 million into roughly 40 companies through his Shark Tank role. On set he discovered film crews operate under the director's authority and experienced repeated takes. Safdie and co-writer Ronald Bronstein incorporated some of O'Leary's notes, including a monologue claiming Rockwell was a "vampire" born in 1601, and O'Leary sourced era-appropriate watches for the character.
